Irritant / corrosive response data:
Due to the severity of the reaction it was impossible to assess corneal and iridial lesions on a number of occasions in three animals, and in one other animal no assessment of corneal damage could be made at any reading.
Corneal opacities were observed in five animals.
Iritis was observed in three animals but the iris could not be observed in two other animals.
A diffuse, crimson to beefy-red colouration of the conjunctivae accompanied by considerable swelling with the eye about half or almost completely closed was seen in all six animals.
Other effects:
Due to the severity of the reactions the animals were killed after the four days observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Conclusions:
An eye irritation study was conducted comparable to OECD guidance. As severe effects were seen, 1,3H6XDI is classified cat. 1 for eye damage.
Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was conducted comparable to OECD guidance. 1,3H6XDI was instilled in one eye of 6 rabbits. Due to the severity of the reaction it was impossible to assess corneal and iridial lesions on a number of occasions in three animals, and in one other animal no assessment of corneal damage could be made at any reading. Corneal opacities were observed in five animals. Iritis was observed in three animals but the iris could not be observed in two other animals. A diffuse, crimson to beefy-red colouration of the conjunctivae accompanied by considerable swelling with the eye about half or almost completely closed was seen in all six animals. Due to the severity of the reactions the animals were killed after the four days observation.

As severe effects were seen, 1,3H6XDI is classified cat. 1 for eye damage.
